  1. Recently I had to kill some time so I thought I would catch a movie.
    Funny though, I couldn’t find ANYTHING I wanted to see.

  2. On the other hand you’ll be ‘GLAAD’ you didn’t succumb to the latest politically correct diatribe dressed up as ‘entertainment’.

    So 96% of the population need to be cowed into submission to sign on to alphabet soup of “sexuality allegiance”.
    Yes these people so much believe in respecting peoples inherent freedom…NOT.

    Prosit!

  3. Now I forget, is it “Life imitates art” or “Art imitates life”?
    At least one of those statements would suggest that Gladd feels that currently, 20% of the world is on some shade of the rainbow and that the rainbow is going to include 50% of people in the next few years.
    I wonder how that will work out when about 50% of today’s boys don’t even bother to look up from their gaming consoles anymore and have completely given up on meeting/dating girls. What percentage of the population will be actively pro-creating in another few years?
    But at least we’ll be showing in film how roughly 5% of the population chooses to live in 50% of all films.
    Progress!!!

  4. I don’t think it is a story they want to shove down your throat.

    Just ask the men and women of the #metoo movement.

  6. So this is what the Stonewall riots were all about 50 years ago….

  7. The MORE LGBTQ GLaaaa aaaa aaaahAAD-approved Hollywood films … the LESS I will watch. Give all the awards you want to “coming of age” (read: pedophile) homosexual films … it won’t matter to me …

    I will devote more time to my multiple hobbies … and farrrrrr less on Hollywooden make-believe.

  8. Think of the possibilities for sequels:
    Brokeback Valley
    Brokeback River
    Brokeback Lake
    Brokeback Plains

    And they could generate a whole new franchise based on 50 Shades of Gay.

    1. I will help you sue the studios when they all plagiarise your fabulous … “projects”

      And don’t forget the Dirty Harry franchise …

      1. That famous line about making his day from Sudden Impact could take on a whole new meaning.

    2. Think of all the re-makes of famous movies, so wait for titles such as Dr. Strange Love and He Wore A Yellow Ribbon plus we all know what a new and improved version of The Gay Caballero and The Gay Divorcee will be about, don’t we?

      Why, this could revive Hollywood!

  9. This keeps up, the kids can look forward to ATM, nevermind a BJ, on their first date. The sicko’s are just helping by breaking the ice……..

  10. Ha ha ha , I watch shows until the 10 percent homosexual representation has been way over represented, then I am out, Shameless the TV show was entertaining until the young girl “with a penis” was rescued/adopted on an episode.
    Hollywood / Netflix and all the other left wing media has lost their grip on the populace.
    Facebook, Google and Amazon are trying to fill the void, but most of us are on to the them.

    1. Shameless? I don’t think I heard of it until you mentioned it. Now that I know about it, I’ll make sure to avoid it.

  11. They can take their movies and shove them you know where.

    We do background checks on movies nowadays and most don’t make the grade.

    1. When I see a movie that I might want to watch on TV, I look it up on IMDB and read the negative comments. If those comments sound credible, I give that film a pass.

      There have been times, though, when I went ahead and watched a flick even after checking on it. If I managed to finish it, I smack myself across the head, so to speak, and ask why I didn’t pay attention to what other people have said about it. Often, those negative comments tended to reflect the impressions I had after watching it.

  12. The sixth annual “Studio Responsibility Index”….really!?
    Gladd I didn’t even know that Orwellian goofy shite was occurring, but sad to know, now.
    Not that I give a flying foog…
    As steely dan quipped…
    The show business kids are making movies of themselves,
    And they don’t give a fvck about anybody else….etc…

    1. I stopped going to movie theatres nearly 25 years ago and, on the whole, I haven’t regretted it. The number of films that I wish I had seen on the big screen I can count off on one hand, including Apollo 13, Blackhawk Down, and Master and Commander.

      Frequently, I see many of the movies that I missed when Encore Avenue shows them. Usually, after I’m done watching them, I tell myself that I’m glad I didn’t spend any money or time seeing them in the theatre.

  13. They’re throwing away the baby with the bathwater. No objections here, but just because some things have been decriminalized it doesn’t mean it’s the norm. What happened to democracy where majority rules?

    Hollywood might think they are scandalizing us but they’re not. They are the ones with the lack of good taste and maturity. Not us. We’ve seen it all, Haight-Ashbury, Woodstock, the Montery Pop Festival, the Doors in rare concert, the sex, drugs and overdoses etc. They are the ones who are bereft of ideas. They are not cool and it bugs them that we were and still are, and that they weren’t there. In regards to movie tastes, we are together in this, always, and still cool, always, and when no one comes to see their junk, they will see the light. Money talks, b.s. walks.

    1. The situation with Hollywood nowadays is similar to what it was nearly 70 years ago.

      Television was becoming popular and people were staying home for their entertainment. Studios had to do something to draw in audiences, which is why, for example, during the 1950s, there were a lot of movies made that were epic in scope and in plot with the usual casts of thousands.

      New film techniques were developed, which is why many of the movies made during that time were in the wide-screen format. In addition, those movies were in colour and had stereophonic sound while TVs offered only a square black and white screen with mono.

      Yes, the push by the alphabet lobby is a political statement, but Hollywood is getting stiff competition not just from cable TV but from Internet services such as Netflix. Adding a “twist” to the films, with the promise that what’s on the screen isn’t available anywhere else, is just another advertising gimmick.

      1. The innovations in film are continuous and too numerous to mention. When ‘sound’ in pictures happened many were skeptical of it’s success. The studio system was breaking up as a factory, due to costs, unfair practices and the development of unions. Thus, even the actors unionized under the moniker of the Screen Actor’s Guild. Eventually some of the studios folded, but it took awhile.

        The R.K.O. Pictures Studio owned by Howard Hughes (of Hughes Tools of Texas) was sold and Desilu Studios was established on the premises. Many shows like I Love Lucy, Star Trek, Mission Impossible etc were Desilu Productions. They were ahead of their time with multi cameras and recording on film. This was costly and unheard of but made the Arnaz family very wealthy, in the rerun business, indeed.

        Many new networks were established and followed suit simultaneously with their own productions. Television was born and flourished.

        All the while American films hobbled along and got worse. There are many exceptions though. Foreign films are always another good choice. People want to enjoy themselves and sub-titles, while a nuisance, are well worth it, if the flick is good.

        Much is offered on the internet nowadays. There will always be the theatre flicks, television and the internet although quality may be sporadic. I remain faithful, for the love of it. Barring that there’s always American Baseball!

        1. All the while American films hobbled along and got worse.

          The decline started roughly 50 years ago by which time the studio system had come to an end and the Motion Picture Code abolished. That led to rubbish such as Midnight Cowboy winning the Best Picture Oscar and things haven’t improved since then.

          1. You make a good point about the Motion Picture Code because it’s set of rules enforced censorship governing American filmmaking and in many ways stifled American cinema for over 3 decades.(1930-1968)

            So, why do we still have some distasteful flicks, even now? It has to be due to poor writing. One of the best writers today, in my opinion, is Aaron Sorkin. Everything he has ever written turns to gold. He admits that at a young age he ” fell in love with the sound of dialogue”.
            He gets $4 million/ script plus $1 million if the script gets made into a movie. Besides being a screenwriter, he is a playwright, director, producer and teacher. You all know his stuff. ” Moneyball” 2011 is a fan favourite! It is a hope that his work rubs off on future screenwriters. Luckily Mr Sorkin teaches screenwriting.

            Perhaps we can all look forward to more good writing and good movies.

    2. The majority has allowed this to happen. Apathy and tolerating the intolerable have taken us to this point.

      1. In other words, if one films and shows it, they will come. That logic doesn’t work with me.

  14. I hate to state the obvious, but Hollywood can produce whatever they want, but consumers have choices. Personally, I do not have a problem with the gay alphabet community in normal roles, but I do not want to see any overt affectionate/physical stuff. Sorry – channel changer … walk out of movie … Sorry, born to one sex and not interested in non-heterosexual choices. There has never been a pride event that I have failed not to attend for lack of interest.

  16. Hollywood still can’t face that 3% of the audience will pay to see two dudes kissing, the other 96% will pay to NOT see it.

    But, as we’ve seen lately with #MeToo, the Hollywood upper-crust is populated by people who have cultivated some very odd tastes in personal relationships, shall we say. When literally everyone you know is into the weird stuff, it becomes normal and all those people in Flyover Country are the weird ones.

    On a brighter note, movies generally didn’t make much money the last five years or so, except superhero movies. The SJWs ruined A Wrinkle In Time, and audiences rewarded them. It lost $100 megabucks. That’ll be hard even for Disney to soak up.

  17. GLAAD, Always in the forefront of America’s cultural marxism. Who wouldn’t want one of their members at every family gathering up until they go extinct. It’s hard to procreate when none of your members knows how to do it the old fashioned way.

  18. I look forward to the day when there is an entire year of new movies, and each one of them has an opening day total of zero dollars. It is 20 years now where every movie, every TV show, every freaking commercial has at least 4,567 lgbtqwertyuiopalskjnrnmxnmxtetzynmberuiwyfdgevc characters. They have been over represented basically my entire adult life. Which is why I stopped going to movies, and cut the cable cord. Instead of good stories, there is only indoctrination.

  19. How do they determine that there aren’t gay people in every film? They aren’r corn-holing each other 24/7.
